Introduction of a Wikipedia article. Complete article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostradamus
Michel de Nostredame, usually Latinised to Nostradamus, was a
Fr
apothecary and
reput
seer who published collections of prophecies
th
have since become
fam
worldwide. He is best known for his book Les Propheties ( "The Prophecies "), the
fi
ed
of
whi
appeared in 1555. Since the publication of this book, which has rarely been out of print since his death, Nostradamus has
attr
a following that,
al
with the popular press, credits him with predicting many major world events. The prophecies
ha
in some
cas
been assimilated to the results of
app
the
alleg
Bible code, as
we
as to other purported prophetic works. Most academic
sou
maintain that the associations made between
wor
eve
and Nostradamus's
quatra
are
large
the
resu
of misinterpretations or
mistr
(sometimes deliberate) or else are so tenuous as to render them
usele
as evidence of any
gen
predictive power. Moreover,
no
of the
so
listed offers any evidence
th
anyone has ever interpreted any of Nostradamus's quatrains specifically enough to
al
a
cle
identification of any event in advance.
